Daddy's Meatballs

I don't know where my son found this simple little recipe but it has turned into a family favorite. Those of you who follow my blog know how I love easy

2 bags of meatballs (cook as directed on bag) or 2 packs of cocktail weenies
1 8oz jar of grape jelly
1  14oz bottle of ketchup

Combine jelly and ketchup in crock pot then add meatballs or weenies and cook for an hour. They should be hot and the sauce tangy. You can also trade the ketchup for BBQ sauce. Quick and easy, makes a great Saturday afternoon snack while you are watching the ball game.

Retirement and Blogging

I have been retired for a while, yet I still have a hard time finding the time to blog.  I am going to try to do better.  My granddaughter who will turn 16 in January ask for a cookbook of all my recipes for Christmas. So it looks like I have a project to work on.  I think it would be neat to give all my granddaughters a cookbook for Christmas.  I am going to try and post my progress on the project here as well as making the time to add new recipes to this blog.  Wish me luck and I look forward to getting back involved with my blogs. 

Pineapple Chicken

4-6 chicken breast

Top with shredded cheese(your favorite flavor) and bake 35 minutes or until biscuits are not doughy.

We have fun with this recipe.  Sometimes we add pepperoni, olives, onion and peppers. Hope you all enjoy!

I have added a search box to this blog to help you find your favorites. I used it a couple of times and it seemed to work well.  Enjoy you holidays! Merry Christmas!!

Most of the recipes that are found here are my family recipes.  Some are sent to me by friends, others are found on other websites.  I try to acknowledge where I get the recipes so that you can check out those sites as well.
